95. Bravo Blue Dog Democrats

Kudos to the Blue Dog Democrats (a breed I can relate to despite being a Labrador Retriever) who chose to reject, along with all the Republicans, the Doctor Bill that would have permanently prevented Medicare payment cuts to doctors at a cost of almost $250B from our pockets. Voting on this bill separately from the overall Health Care bill a deceptive way of keeping the true Health Care Reform bill cost under $900B. Had it been incorporated into the overall bill of reform, the cost would still be over $1.1 Trillion dollars and above the highest cost Obama could accept -- unless he is lying once again. This Wall Street article describes the actions related to the Doctor Bill.
